How to get out of the crowd with honest intentions for ICO?

[abruchifid]

To get out of the crowd, you really need to offer something that is 'out of the crowd'. Offer something that is unique, marketable and some sort of 'guarantee ' that you can deliver on the promises implied in your white paper, get an MVP ready and the you could do a paid promotion with a maret influencer

Well, welcome to the forum and hope you contribute positively to the growth of this forum.  On your issue of no budget for marketing, in some ways,  there is no way you can set this up or run it with no budget atall. Even if you don't have much, few fee are still needed. But you can run bounty using the bountyhive services cause most bounty is being frowned at in this forum. You can pay the hunters after ICOs, if your project is genuine and outstanding, you will find bounty participants.

Thank you, any tip where I can find these bounty participants? Thanks !

Welcome to the forum.

Well you can hire those aspiring translators, bloggers, article writers for free. If you have no budget, do something if you really want to promote your project if you really have honest intentions and make sure that you're very transparent with your info's.

You can also start it on your own by creating your own channels, pages and any means to contact you and who will manage it? you.

Take note: Only those people that are starting to make their portfolio are the ones that you can ask for free.

Thanks for the advice, any tip where I can find those who are starting to make their portfolio? on Linkedin they are not easy to be found, obviously :-/

Any idea how to "get out of the crowd"?

First, create a Thread in this section: Tokens (Altcoins)

In your ANN thread, you must post all the details of your project, prioritize the data of the people on your team, you need to tell the investors who you are, where you live, where you work, your past experience, preference of telling your life story, this will make investors feel a little secure investing in your project.

Third, you must show details of your project, preferably show some functional product and show that investors are not wasting time and money, show that you are serious, honest and trustworthy people. By doing this, investors will feel safe

An unpleasant thing that I noticed in this world of ICO. When people create an ICO, these people do not have a functional product and not even 10% of the product has, and when they already have ICO money, these people only think about traveling and attending the conferences that are often unproductive, that is They are asking for money to travel and stay in hotels. Only that!

If you can provide the original products to everyone in advance, then I believe that more people can provide you with investment, because the success rate of ICO will increase when there are ready-made products to rely on!

Thank you for the guidance, definitely - as transparent as possible. And I got your point about advantages of showing a real product/prototype...unfortunately we do not either have one..this is another obstacle we need to overcome. Thanks! Milan

The most important factor is the product and its real application. With a good product, you will always stand out. Apart from this, the team and their antecedents is also important. A project backed by a good team with clean records will always succeed. Finally, strategy is also important. Chose your strategy correctly and they should conform to standards and with the times.

The product is certainly central. But you have to get out of the office too. Literally. You should try to get in touch directly with the crowd. For example by organizing an event yourself so that people can see who is behind the team.

let people know about us and to prove that our intentions are sincere.

Hate to say it, but the more you try to prove those intentions are sincere, the more people are going to be skeptical of your claims--especially here, where it seems like every other ICO is a scam with fake profiles and nonpayment of bounty hunters.

More important IMO would be showing why your project is worth investing in in the first place, i.e., that it's useful and worth investing in.  I've no doubt you'll get a lot of speculators interested in it, but they'll flee and sell everything off as soon as whatever you're selling goes to market.

Whatever you do, marketing is something you'll have to spend money on.  There's no way you'll get interest unless you advertise, and that means paying people to do it.  I don't know of any project thus far that hasn't had some sort of campaign involved.

Thats it.

Marketing is key, and you will be competing with hundreds of other projects.
You will also have to realise that loyalty will play a small part of the project
because there will be pressure on your project to get launched on an exchange
purely so those putting on the pressure can dump their investment and
run to the next project.

A lot of honest investors have been burned by this tactic as well as by scam
projects or projects which take too long in development.

Thank you for the comment, unfortunately this is our drawback - no prototype yet created. But this is what we go into token sale, great team, incredible idea, and ready to kick-start.

Hi.

Well, I know one project - SciDex - they just launched a Volunteer Program where you can work with their team. I think it'd useful, you could learn some interesting stuff working with them (maybe you could even become partners after that). Check it out if you're interested: https://medium.com/@SciDex/scidex-join-our-team-as-a-volunteer-ff642ed95aa2

Hi to all, I am a newcomer here at bitcointalk. I read through the comments here and it summarizes what we are facing now with our Wellmee project. We just started with the promotion heading to initial token offering in November and I see how it will be damn difficult with no budget for marketing to let people know about us and to prove that our intentions are sincere. Any idea how to "get out of the crowd"? except of hard work and all full of enthusiasm - we have that already :-)

Thanks for any kind of advice, Milan

The fact that you don't know some possible solutions for that makes me think that you are not ready yet. At least investors want a project where devs and owners knows some of things needed in establishing an ICO.

And with the current situation of ICO today wherein most are not productive, at least in my own view, investors now looking at how well projects does have a good source of funds. It's important that all funds will not just came from ICO but at least in your own pockets. In this way, investors might look at the team as serious in marketing and promoting the project. Marketing needs a decent budget to be able to matched the wide range of competition in the ICO world.

Thank you for the guidance, definitely - as transparent as possible. And I got your point about advantages of showing a real product/prototype...unfortunately we do not either have one..this is another obstacle we need to overcome. Thanks! Milan

It's a must.

Some money is needed, even if you have the best project since the development of bitcoin you will need some budget assigned to marketing, however if your project is really good you could get a lot of people interested in the project and they could always spread the news, if you are really honest about what you want to achieve it could be a good thing that before you release your ico you have something to show to the potential investors.

To be honest, its gonna be hard for you to let investors know about your project with no budget for market. Heck, even scam ICO's are putting up thousands of dollars to get the word out there. If you really believed that your project can take off then you can borrow some money at least from your families and closest friend? Or maybe you need to wait a little longer try to raised some funds of your own and when you are ready then you can start to hire someone to promote your project.

Thanks for any kind of advice, Milan

I hope you re consider your project and make the necessary adjustments.

Show the investment interest by checking the ICO rating sites available in the market. Those sites are really useful for the investors to pick the right choice to make their investment on the right way. Hence you need to go them to find the perfect profit with your investment.

To make the people interest on the ICO for that you should have that kind of project first with you. Most of the projects does not know how to deal the promotion and other successful ways to promote. That made them fail in ICO too.

Sorry to hear a little bit of this, when you give Aidrop there's no such thing as belief because there are so many Aidrops scams now, for free it's a good thing but not convincing others believe you. You need to have capital to advertise and attract investors to be able to grow.

[SteshaScott]

You need to actively promote the project, because competitors do it. No one will see the project if you will not do. There are a lot services that promote your project in top. For promotion in Reddit you can you upvotes.io .

You actually needs lot of funds to get your project successful even if you are legit,even though you can allocate tokens for bounties from the total tokens you still needs funds for listing in exchanges stuffs like that,so you can't do anything if you have no budget for your project.

Just like what you write. It is difficult to call investors to participate in any project. Limited knowledge and poor advertising skills are possible. But I believe nothing is too late, if we start to act well every day will succeed.
